In their FAQ's they say, when talking about range:

"In general, 1 battery pack equals ~ 2 gallons of gas range (or more at low speed)." They also say "Pontoon boating: an 18′ pontoon boat could cruise at 4 mph for 4 hours, with a few bursts at 18 MPH, with one battery pack."

So even if you had 3 battery packs, it's only like having 6 gallons of gas. And on a pontoon not everyone wants to putt at 4 mph, avoiding higher speeds because of range. So not ready for that application yet IMO.

4 MPH isn't even no wake speed!
